Evaluering van die opleiding in intensiewe algemene verpleegkunde in die Republiek van Suid-Afrika

D.Cur. / Intensive nursing science in the Republic of South Africa has become so comprehensive and has gained momentum to such an extent the curriculum for the diploma in intensive nursing science no longer suffices. This study has attempted to identify the scope of intensive care for the professional nurse within the context of the community need for intensive care and to develop the curriculum in accordance. To achieve this purpose a theoretical framework was compiled out of the literature according to which the curriculum was evaluated. The task of the professional nurse in intensive care was identified by means of a literature study, observations and interviews. In addition, a statistical survey was done of the diseases with which the patients are admitted into intensive care units. It is obvious that the prescribed curriculum has, to a large extent achieved its aim but an explicit need was indicated for more training schools and trained professional nurses in intensive care. The evaluation practices for the diploma in intensive nursing science must be placed upon a scientific basis.
